I've never seen this modeled before. A little bland for some people's taste, but I'm going to see how interesting I can make it. No big changes, maybe add warp sustainer engines that won't interrupt the hull shape, and I'm going to try to lay out the interiors.
I have already found a problem: the chapter on the yacht in the TNG Manual has obviously gotten the dimensions wrong. It lists 10 x 18 x 8, but the drawn proportions are more like 10 x 18 x 4. After carefully measuring the plans I have, and considering the interior layout, I've decided that they got the vertical axis right and I'll be modeling her as 20 x 36 x 8... Unless anyone has more accurate measurements on hand.
A quick peek so far...
